A 34-year-old man identified as John has died after drowning in the Elegushi Beach, in Lagos State, on Saturday, during a church hangout.
It was gathered that the unnamed Ikorodu-based church had organised a picnic for its youths which the late John was a part of.
Information gathered that concerns grew when the members were about to leave the beach that Saturday afternoon but couldn’t locate him anywhere.
It was learned that as the church members began searching for him, someone informed them that they had seen him go into the water. Lifeguards and divers were alerted but efforts to locate him in the water that Saturday proved abortive.
It was gathered that his body was only recovered by lifeguards on Tuesday afternoon at the beach.
